lol abe bhai turee jhoot bola karo koi tu sharam karo ?? mee kouch hafte phele Pakistan see aya ho kera 1 dish limit and 3hr limit ??? TOTALY BULLSHIT as all other PML-N fake comments.

Its not in all of Punjab, maybe not in your district, but some areas are already dealing with it. I attended many weddings this year and saw exactly what was imposed by the government.

Teams formed to ensure ‘one dish’ at marriage ceremonies

RAWALPINDI: On the directives of the Punjab chief minister, the government has constituted various teams comprising police personnel and City District Government Rawalpindi (CDGR) to ensure implementation of one-dish at marriage ceremonies. The teams have been directed to take strict action against violators of one-dish party. Besides one-year imprisonment, Rs 500,000 fine could be imposed on the violators as the punishment. One dish means curry and chapatti or rice. The ban came into force in the form of the Marriage Ordinance of 1997 under the Nawaz Sharif Government in Islamabad. In 2002 the Supreme Court declared the Marriage (Prohibition of Wasteful Expenses) Ordinance 1997 as ultra vires. But now the Punjab government headed by Mian Shahbaz Sharif has again enforced the “one-dish” law with 300 guests as a limit. online

Special children’s school, Yazman, Bahwalpur

Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Saturday inaugurated a school for special children, a children’s park and a dual-carriage in Yazman, some 60 kilometres from Bahawalpur.

He also announced setting up a 410-bed district headquarters hospital in Bahawalpur and said that work on the hospital will begin soon.

He was on a one-day visit to Yazman, where he addressed a gathering at Head Rajkan.

He said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had included the River Sutlej water issue in its manifesto to resolve water crisis in the area. He said the PML-N was making efforts to resolve water problems in Cholistan and that the issue would soon be settled permanently.

He said his government had set-up four farms in Cholistan at an estimated cost of Rs500 million for the development of livestock.

What the heck, PML taking credit of JFT and Al-Khalid???

Mian Nawaz Sharif had a great role in defense collaboration with China. Nawaz Sharif and Chinese Premier Zhuji Rongji signed this project in 1998 (then called Super-7). It was also the Chinese Government that came forward to help the Govt of PML-N when USA had imposed restrictions due to nuclear explosions.

Al Khalid deal with China was signed in the 1990s.

Here is an interesting side to it as well. I found an old article

Al-Khalid tanks offered to Turkey
By Ali Abbas Rizvi

In a startling development, Pakistan recently offered Turkey its newly-
developed main battle tank 2000 (Al-Khalid), thereby, joining a seven
billion dollar contest to supply Ankara with 1,000 tanks.

The offer was made during the last days of the Nawaz Sharif government,
by the former secretary defence Lieutenant General (retd) Chaudhry
Iftikhar Ali Khan during his visit to Ankara.

Earlier, Turkey had finalised five international tank manufacturers -
General Dynamics Corp's Land Systems unit in Sterling Heights, Mich.,
maker of the US Army's Abrams M1A2; GIAT Industries, Satory, France,
maker of the Leclerc; Krauss-Maffei Wehrtechnik GmbH, Munich, maker of
Leopard 2; Italian partners Oto Breda SpA, La Spezia, and Iveco SpA
Defense Vehicles Division, Bolzano, makers of the C1 Ariete; and
Ukrspetsexport, Kiev, Ukraine, maker of the T-80D - for the lucrative
project.

Also, two other competitors, the Moscow-based Russian export firm
Rosvoorouzhenie and the Israeli Defence Ministry, had offered their T-
80 and Merkava Mk3 tanks, respectively, but could not make it to the
last five.

According to the plans announced by the Undersecr-etariat for Defense
Industries, known as Savunma Sanayii Mustesarligi (SSM) in Turkish, in
October and November this year, Turkey will send four-man army teams to
receive two-week training on all the five tanks making it to the final.

Then, the five bidders will send their tanks to Turkey in January 2000,
for all-terrain tests, which will continue till 2001. The winner of the
tank contest will only be announced in the year 2002, with production
starting from 2004 and lasting 10 years.

Whatever the case may be, analysts firmly believe that the Al- Khalid
tank stands no chance among the bidders for a variety of reasons.
First, the Al-Khalid tank, which was recently developed, has not been
yet inducted into any army, including that of Pakistan. As such, little
is known about the Al-Khalid tank i.e. its general design philosophy,
hull, turret and combat system, engine, armament, protection and
survivability and maintenance and repair. Also, the tank has not been
put to extensive field trials, specially from the point of view of
prospective buyers.

Unlike other tanks in the market, it is not known how the Al- Khalid
will behave in deserts, on other types of rough terrain, in cold
weather, etc. Also, Pakistan is not known as a tank manufacturing
country. Therefore, the operational capability of the Al-Khalid will
remain under cloud till proven.

Second, the Al-Khalid tank has been produced with the help of Chinese
firm NORINCO and, most probably, carries a Western engine. The same
applies for its subsystems, which may have been procured from half-a-
dozen countries.

On the other hand, subsystems on most of the other reputed tanks in the
world either come from one country or, if not, their supply can be
guaranteed in both short and long-term period. Not so in the case of Al-
Khalid tank.

Third, most probably, Pakistan has not yet set up the mass production
facilities for the Al-Khalid. On the other hand, other tanks in the
competition are being mass produced. As such, this automatically rules
out the choice of MBT 2000.

Fourth, as a pre-condition, Turkey has told the five international tank-
makers chosen to compete for the billion dollar project to form
alliances with local companies and transfer technology. To give one
example, General Dynamics Land Systems, the firm that produces the
Abrams tanks, has offered Turkey to provide all technology associated
with the design, integration, testing and production of the tank and to
set up a tank design bureau to design future tanks. Pakistan, not
surprisingly, is not in a position to do so.

Fifth, the Turks have already shown their great interest in the
American M1A2 SEP (System Enhancement Package) Abram Tank. Similarly,
the American firm, greatly excited at the $7 billion project, is
putting all pressure on Turkey to accept its product. The stakes in the
lucrative deal are so high that the American government even persuaded
Israel to withdraw its Merkava 3 tank from the contest, telling Tel
Aviv that it would not be a good idea if Syria found the Israeli tanks
both on its northern and southern borders.

However, the US-Turkish relationship has been bumpy over the years,
with Washington blocking several defence deals, including that of Super
Cobra gunships in 1996, on account of alleged human rights violations.

Nevertheless, certainly not the best tank in the world, the MBT Al-
Khalid may have several advantages over its Indian rival the MBT Arjun.
For example, the Al-Khalid project, keeping the limitations of
Pakistani access to technology in mind, does not seem to be an over-
ambitious venture. Also, being much lighter than the Arjun (48 tonnes
vs 58 tonnes), the tank is easy to transport.

Meanwhile, with the change of government in Pakistan, the last-minute
entry of MBT 2000 into the Turkish tank bid may witness a change of
fate as the new government may decide to put the tank under rigorous
trials and induct it first before offering it to others.

While the army may be proud of its Ghouri and Shaheen missiles, in the
terms of the Indo-Pak conflict, tanks will remain as the only practical
method of securing and protecting territory. The question is: in the
post-nuclear era, will we see them now equipped with nuclear shells?

Past Performance of PML-N - thenews.com.pk

As the election season is upon us, we are going to get inundated by party manifestos. And of course a manifesto is a serious document and tells us a lot about the nature of the party. But it is one thing to ‘talk the talk’. What is more important is to see if parties can also ‘walk the walk’. One way to examine a party’s ability to implement its programme is to see if it has the right team that is competent, sincere and experienced. Another way to judge a party’s ability is to examine its past record. PML-N has given a manifesto which seeks to strengthen the nation by empowering our people. Lets look to see what did it achieve during its two brief stints at the federal level.

PML-N’s first incomplete term at the federal level lasted from November, 1990 to April, 1993. During this short time of two and a half years Mian Nawaz Sharif’s government brought more reforms, endowed people with more opportunities and rights, and achieved more than any government had in Pakistan’s history. In fact after Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Sahib’s experiment with nationalization and socialism the fundamental transformation of Pakistan’s economy took place under Mian Nawaz Sharif. The real changes and improvements he brought to our economy and society continue to this day.

In the 1980s it used to take several years, considerable pulling of strings, and perhaps even bribes to get a telephone connection. A telephone connection used to be a luxury only the rich could afford. In 44 years between 1947 and 1991 our government-run telephone company had installed a total of only 800,000 telephone lines. In just two years of Mian Nawaz Sharif’s government, after he allowed private investment in this sector, a total of 900,000 new lines were installed. Today everyone can get a phone, but its important to remember that the basic reforms in the telecoms sector were brought about by PML-N’s government. Telephone availability may seem trivial to some, but it signifies a shift in government’s attitude towards its citizens.

Before Mian Sahib’s first government, there was a presumption on the part of the state to view citizens both as supplicants and with suspicion. For instance, citizens leaving the country were more often than not frisked by authorities for the amount of foreign exchange they may be carrying, and again checked by customs upon arrival. By liberalizing foreign exchange restrictions and creating ‘green channels’ in customs, citizens were treated with the dignity they deserved. Again this was a change initiated by PML-N.

In terms of liberalizing the economy, PML-N did away with the cumbersome and corrupt system of import licensing, started the privatization of nationalized commercial banks and allowed new banks and financial institutions in the private sector. Mian Nawaz Sharif also started the building of the Motorway and modern airports, approved the construction of Ghazi-Barotha dam, got agreement with our Chinese friends for the construction of the Chasma Nuclear power plant, started work on the Gwadar port and the Makran Coastal Highway, and laid an optic fibre network in Pakistan. As a result of these and many other economic reforms and projects, the economy in 1992 grew by 7.7%, the highest rate in the previous two decades, and the Karachi Stock Exchange rose by 400%.

Also significant, in terms of interprovincial harmony, was the conclusion of the first NFC award after 17 years, which resulted in Balouchistan getting funds from gas surcharge levies and KP getting hydel profits. And in the social sector, the funding for basic health, primary education, drinking water schemes and population welfare were more than doubled. And in the area of social justice, landless haris in Sindh were allocated land for farming. All these real changes were brought in two and a half years. But this empowering of people at the expense of politicians and bureaucrats did not sit well with those losing their power to dole out government largesse in the shape of licenses, jobs and hand-outs and PML-N’s tenure was abruptly ended. But the public’s agenda for empowerment and change was still unfinished and so when Mian Nawaz Sharif was next elected Prime Minister in 1997 he picked up from where he had left.

In the two and half years half-term he got from 1997 to 1999, he again brought about deep-rooted reforms. The most economically significant, and politically difficult one, was the abolishing of Octori tax, a regime that collected over Rs.20 billion in taxes from the people but only ended giving government Rs. 3 billion. But as important was the taking away of discretionary powers from government officials and ministers. For instance, the VIP privilege of importing luxury cars without paying duty was abolished, and the bureaucratic power of awarding textile export quota on discretion was also ended. And for fighting inflation more effectively and regulating the banks better, State Bank of Pakistan was made independent of the government.

Any discussion of PML-N’s achievement would be incomplete if we did not mention the nuclear test we conducted in response to India’s tests. But of course, Mian Nawaz Sharif wanted peace with all neighbours, so having restored the strategic balance between Pakistan and India, he invited Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee to Lahore for the historic Lahore Declaration.

So from foreign policy to economic policy to institutional reforms and social justice, PML-N’s government has delivered real and effective change in Pakistan. Of course we stand today at a very critical juncture, and the nation again demands a course correction and deep-rooted reforms. And both from its past record in office and its current manifesto, it is clear that PML-N and Mian Nawaz Sharif’s team will be able to deliver the reforms Pakistan needs today.

The person from 1995 didn't take credit for it and neither their party ever acknowledged this. The real deal was signed in 1998, when Pakistan was under sanctions.

What logic is that? So because PPP DOESN'T boast about it, they didn't do it?

The program was started during PPP's government, the MoU was signed then, the feasibility studies and all else was done then, the Russians were contacted then, Sukhoi team came in China at that time, so alot of work had been done before Nawaz Sharif came into power.

How the heck can he tak the credit of it?
